About

Metropolis Kino Database (MKDb) is a site created by aldy that tracks the film ratings of members of the Metropolis community, a Discord server for film lovers. Films released in a given year or range of years can be sorted by average rating, popularity, or proportion of favourites using the filter options at the top of list pages. Hovering over a film will reveal basic information about it, and clicking into it will give a list of ratings given to it by members of the community.

Statistics

Data collection and sorting

All ratings made on Letterboxd by members of the Metropolis community who have a role of Actor or higher are in the database (i.e. Crew members are excluded); this way, all members who have been active for a reasonable length of time are included. If you're an Actor+ and not listed below, make sure your account is linked in the #letterboxd_accounts channel and then bug aldy#5160 about it.

Sort by rating sorts by the mean rating of all films with at least five ratings.

Sort by popularity sorts by the lower bound of a Wilson score confidence interval for all films with at least one rating. In practice, this method balances the proportion of positive ratings with the uncertainty of a small number of observations.

Sort by favourites sorts by the proportion of 4.5+ star ratings for all films with at least two ratings, at least one of which is a 4.5+ star rating.
